Est prévu un auxiliaire conducteur pour batteries secondaires à électrolyte non aqueux qui permet d'améliorer la sécurité et d'éviter une augmentation de température pendant une charge/décharge à courant élevé d'une batterie secondaire à électrolyte non aqueux.　L'invention concerne un auxiliaire conducteur qui contient une résine et un matériau carboné ayant une structure en couches de graphène, et qui est destiné à être utilisé dans des batteries secondaires à électrolyte non aqueux, dans lequel : a obtenu par la formule (1) satisfait 3<a≤100 et b obtenu par la formule (2) satisfait 20≤ b≤100 lorsque la quantité de résine contenue dans l'auxiliaire conducteur est de x0 % en poids, la surface spécifique BET de l'auxiliaire conducteur est de y0m2/g, la quantité de résine contenue dans l'auxiliaire conducteur après chauffage dudit auxiliaire conducteur pendant cinq heures à 600°C est de x1 % en poids, et la surface spécifique BET de l'auxiliaire conducteur après chauffage dudit auxiliaire conducteur pendant cinq heures à 600°C est de y1m2/g ; et le nombre de particules de l'auxiliaire conducteur dans une dispersion de fluide est d'au moins 15 millions de particules/mgC lors de l'obtention de la dispersion de fluide par dispersion de l'auxiliaire conducteur dans du N-méthyl-2-pyrrolidone.　Formule (1) : a=(y0-y1)/(x0-x1). Formule (2) : b=y0-(y0-y1)x0/(x0-x1)
